[Xperia Z Original Android Development] championswimmer:
if anyone thinks the proposition behind releasing ROMs is to "make moar peepals use my ****" then, I don't know about anyone else but I can speak for myself, I am not that guy.

These builds are here just because the source is compiling, and working builds are coming out of the build server. features will get added as and when people start working on them. you are totally free to choose whatever ROM you wish to use.

The premise of Adrian's work and mine are entirely different. For the initial bringup of AOKP, I didn't look at his sources, nor did I need to, nor will it actually help. He is trying to make yuga work on AOSP source with "as little as possible" modification. AOKP is different. We are trying to make the source support as many devices as possible. We do not care how much we diverge from AOSP.

In fact we are using qualcomm audio/media/display sources all from CodeAurora and not Google, AOSP trees. The result is screenrecord is working on this ROM while not on @pabx 's ROM. Similarly making camera work needed a different approach. We use a wrapper, and try to expoilt more functions of sony drivers, also using caf branches mean we need to patch in some old compatibiliy symbols to work. As a result his AOSP has camera right from the beginning without needing any work while for me the 4.4 merge broke it. (there are many more such differences)

While at the end product you see both these ROMs to be exactly same, the fact is they have come to this stage using totally different routes, and under the hood, the sources are different from each other.

The ROM as it is now is not meant to be used by daily driver usage at all. There is a reason I am calling them "test builds" ?

I am very sure @pabx will agree with what I am saying.

Also the sources from which this ROM is beign build is on http://github.com/ObiJuanKenobe/ (if anyone wishes to have a look)

Let me reiterate again. The point of this ROM is not to get more users. These are test builds that you can try, and if find any bugs, report back and help me. This is not a product, but a process that will help in attaining the product (which is AOKP 4.4 nightlies which will have all features)

Thanks for hearing me out, and please refrain from posting stupid posts in future here. I am pretty sure neither me or @pabx want users to show off our skills. Heck we are possibly not even competing. We are just playing around with sources becasue we love doing that. And it is fun.

Also I saw the unfortunate incident where someone zipkanged Adrian's ROM and took credit and made a mockery. It will be unfortunate if Adrian leaves xda due to that. To be very honest I blame YOU USERS for that. becuase you are the people who go around saying "this ROM is so much better than yours. why should I use your ROM?" and create a situation that more and more winzip kangbangers come up to take credit of original work and try to "be famous" out of it

And respected sir [MENTION=844737]Novek[/MENTION], please stick to our thread if you have nothing constructive to offer here. You have no idea about anything, and till now I have seen you only post a build made out of sources that were already present, and not add/subtract anything to it. Talk to me when you can make a fork of your own and write some source on your own.
